Is the Nova Small big enough for a laptop?

No. At about 14 liters it is a small day pack, and it has no padded laptop sleeve. Use a larger Nova or a laptop-specific backpack for a computer.

What can I fit in it?

A phone, wallet, keys, a small water bottle, a light layer and a few small items fit comfortably. It is not built for textbooks or a full day of gear.

Does it have a front pocket?

Yes. There is a zip pocket on the front for quick-access items, plus the main zip compartment.

What colors does it come in?

It is offered in several solid colorways, including Eucalyptus. Availability varies by store.

What is the Nova Small made of?

It is made of polyester with a zip closure and an inner pocket. The fabric is the usual Herschel woven polyester, not a coated waterproof shell.

About the Herschel Supply Co. Nova Small Backpack

The Herschel Nova Small is a compact zip-top backpack with about 14 liters of capacity, sized for light daily carry rather than books or a laptop. It is a scaled-down version of Herschel's classic Nova, with the same front zip pocket and clean silhouette. It suits shoppers who want a simple, well-made day bag in a solid color like Eucalyptus. Against larger day packs it trades capacity and internal organization for a light, easy carry.
